At first, everything was empty... Not a single soul or sound... Just a complete bright and white void...

But then, a young 6-year old boy with big dark blue eyes and dark blue hair appeared out of seemingly nowhere. His name... was Ravi Azarov.
He was laughing and running around the heavily protected bunker he used to call home while being chased by a greatly advanced robot of humanoid form. This robot was none other than Ravi's personal sitter. His protector and teacher in charge of everything regarding the boy's welfare: it prepared his meals, it washed him and kept him clean, and it even made sure to always have him go to sleep at the adequate time... just as it was trying to do at that moment.
Nonetheless, the robot did all of this, not because he cared for the boy, but because he was simply programmed to do it due to the large list of specific and extremely detailed chores that was installed in its head. The robot taught Ravi the basics of almost everything a child like him was supposed to know: science, social studies, survival methods, logical sense, and hygiene. Though this last one didn't really remain etched into his head at all.
In any case, Ravi was tired of being treated like a child, though he was one; and sometimes he wished the annoying robot just stopped bothering him completely. One day however, that wish finally came true thanks to a huge and stronger that any other sandstorm that hit the bunker and everything inside it, including of course the robot/tutor which inevitably ended up destroyed while protecting the young kid.
Ravi was only 8 years old when this happened, and ever since that moment onward, he became a child without a protector... without a tutor... without any kind of parent-like figure in his life...
Almost like a boy who just lost his family forever...

A lost boy...

Nonetheless, and instead of being sad, the youngling was actually very relieved and happy. Mainly because he would now be able to do many things he couldn't do before due to the annoying robot always getting in his way: like going to sleep late, eating more food than the regular amount, cleaning the bunker only when he saw it necessary... and of course... going outside and exploring the vast land, just as he had always wanted to do.
Surprisingly enough, the robot's many teachings ended up being very useful for the kid. And every day, he would venture himself even further and further into the unknown wasteland, just exploring and gathering whatever garbage and junk seemed useful. What is more, during one of those tiring exploring sessions, Ravi managed to find an extremely beautiful oasis just lying in the middle of the land.
Nevertheless, it didn't matter how far the youngling travelled. In the end, he always ended up returning home.
Ravi found something totally new one day... something that he never actually saw in real life, but just in small pictures that his ancient robot/tutor used to show him: the ruins of an old and abandoned human city.
Without a second thought, the boy disposed himself to explore such place with rigor, only to then startle in fear at the sight of a group of four-armed alien monsters which appeared out of nowhere. Ravi knew how dangerous those 'four-arms' could be thanks to the robot's teachings. And so, he immediately ran away in the opposite direction, jumping from rooftop to rooftop, while being chased by the creatures.
